Several people were robbed at gunpoint during three separate incidents in Jersey City early this morning. The gunmen fled the scene in a similar-looking van in two of the incidents, authorities said.

At about 4 a.m., two armed males robbed four people near Christopher Columbus Drive and Warren Street, Jersey City police spokesman Bob McHugh said.

The robbers fled in a van that was later found abandoned at the Marion Gardens housing complex on Dales Avenue, McHugh said.

The victims were three adults, ages 24, 28, and 32, and a 14-year-old child, all from Brampton, Canada, he said.

Shortly after this incident, a 25-year-old Jersey City man told police he was robbed by two men pointing guns near Fairview and Bergen avenues. The victim reported that the gunmen were using a van similar to the one used in the earlier robbery, McHugh said.

In an earlier incident, two other people – an 18-year-old Jersey City man and a 17-year-old West New York teen -- were robbed at gunpoint at about 3:30 a.m. on Terrace Avenue, McHugh said.

The robbery victims were not harmed. Officials did not say what was taken from them.

Anyone with information about these robberies should call the Jersey City Police Department tipline at (201) 547-JAIL.
